Comparison
Bloom vs Postiz
Postiz and Bloom sit at opposite ends of one question: how much should the tool do for you? Postiz builds AI into nearly everything and can be self-hosted. Bloom has no AI at all and a free plan with no end date. Here is the honest comparison.
Free plan. No card needed. Works on the web, Android and iPhone.
Price
Postiz has no free plan on its hosted service: every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Standard is $29 a month for 5 channels, about $23 a month billed yearly. Team is $39 for 10 channels, Pro $49 for 30 and Ultimate $99 for 100.
Bloom is free with no time limit, with no cap on scheduled posts or connected accounts. Pro is $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year and Plus is $12.99, both flat.
| Bloom | Postiz (hosted) | |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | Yes, no time limit | No. 7-day trial |
| Cheapest paid | $4.99/month flat | $29/month for 5 channels |
| Ten accounts | $4.99/month | $39/month (Team) |
| Self-hosting | No | Yes, the code is open source |
| AI | None | Agents, writing, image and video generation |
Postiz publishes its source code, so a technical user can run it on their own server without the subscription. Bloom cannot be self-hosted. If you want to own the whole stack, that settles it in Postiz’s favour.
AI everywhere, or AI nowhere
Postiz’s plans include an AI copilot, an agent that can schedule and write for you, and monthly allowances of generated images and videos. If you want software to produce and queue content with little input, it is built for that.
Bloom has none of it, on purpose. There is no text, image or video generation anywhere in the app. You get fill-in templates, saved hashtag sets and a library of post ideas written by people. If generated posts are what you are trying to avoid, see a scheduler without AI; if they are what you want, Postiz is the better tool and it is not close.
What each publishes
Postiz lists a long set of channels, including Bluesky, and publishes to most of them directly, with team features on its higher plans.
Bloom publishes automatically to Instagram, Facebook Pages and Bluesky: photos, carousels and video, with a single video going to Instagram as a Reel. It posts to X on Pro and Plus (up to 5 a day, links on Plus only), sends TikTok videos to your inbox as a draft, and prepares ready-to-post kits for Reddit, Threads, YouTube and Tumblr. It has no LinkedIn and no Pinterest.
Bloom adds two things Postiz does not offer: an income ledger with expenses and a US quarterly tax estimate, and a link-in-bio page with per-link click counts. Both are on the free plan.
Which one suits you
Choose Postiz if you want AI to draft and schedule, need LinkedIn, Pinterest or other networks Bloom lacks, want team features, or want to self-host.
Choose Bloom if you want a free plan that does not expire, flat pricing, no generated content, and your posting, link page and income in one app. Bloom is one person per account, logs results by hand and delivers TikTok as a draft; those are its real limits.
